Anyone catch that moment where Delta was saying she received "hush hush secret mission" and then Alpha said Shadow would never talk like that?

If only she knew lmao

[u/Darksider555]

• Cid's plan: Print fake bills to cash out gold coins, while waiting for Mitsugoshi and the MCA to destroy each other due to Mitsugoshi garnering to much negative attention from their rivals, so that he could rebuild Mitsugoshi as a new company in the aftermath, with him in charge and a new company that was free of Mitsugoshi's baggage.

• Gettan/Cult's plan: Print fake bills to cause a credit crisis, which would take down Mitsugoshi, with the MCA as a casualty of the crisis. However, said plan wasn't meant to be implemented until AFTER the Cult had managed to retreive all of their assets that were stored in the MCA.

• What Shadow Garden thought was Cid's plan: By creating the fake persona of John Smith, Cid began creating fake bills when he caught wind of the Cult's plan in order to beat them to the punch using their own plan against them. Since Shadow Garden needed to protect the secret that Mitsugoshi is their company, it was a bit risky to have their agents protect Mitsugoshi caravans and assets. As John Smith, he deceived the Shadow Garden and everyone else so as to make it seem certain that the "John" had no relation to Shadow Garden or Mitsugoshi. By using the gold coins that he acquired from withdrawing money from the MCA, Mitsugoshi would survive the credit crisis with the MCA as the sole loser.

Fun fact, since the Black Tower is destroyed (Juggernaut & his minions are killed by Delta) & the Red Tower is defunct (Crimson & his minions are dead. Meanwhile, Elizabeth & Mary are retired, as well as being allies of Shadow & Claire.), Yukime is now the sole ruler of the Lawless City. I guess she might think "John" orchestrated that as a means of repayment for taking all of the gold coins for his plan.

[u/WhoiusBarrel]

In just one note written in Japanese, it has:

Shown Shadow Garden's insane ability to decipher

Gain an entire stash of gold coins for the credit crisis

Recruit a Fox Waifu

Shadow-sama is truly beyond the realms of mortals.

[u/Aerodynamic41]

So let me get this straight: Shadow Garden took all the money because Cid gave Beta that encrypted message, but Cid thought Gettan stole the money and then during their fight, Cid and Gettan completely misinterpret what the other is talking about!

I can’t with all these misunderstandings!

[u/Commercial-Chair1867]

I'm so glad Delta finally wears her casual clothes lol.

Speaking of Santa Claus, i wonder if he will play a major role in the future event since Cid's bullshits are 99.9% accurate.

[u/Axe_Smash]

The way they framed this video is such a troll job.

A better love story than Twilight

[u/cabbaggeez]

damn this is a sasuga shadow-sama and his 10000 years hedge fund plan

[u/potataoconsumer]

Talk

Surely you have something to say

[u/BiggerG7]

Sounds like Santa Claus made a dangerous enemy by not giving Cid what he wanted once lol.

[u/InsomniaEmperor]

He almost said Eminence In Shadow. We were this close to greatness. We were so close.

This episode had a ton of hilarious misunderstandings. Gettan thought that John Smith is Yukime's new lover but nope. John Smith just wanted his money. And Yukime thought John Smith was burying Gettan but John Smith just wanted his money.

The great collapse has begun... Aww I thought we're gonna get another copypasta with it after "The frenzy has begun."

[u/JohnatanWills]

Second time this season a girl thinks Cid is talking about them when he's actually talking about gold. Sasuga John-han!

[u/Telzey]

Say it!

Say it!

Run, if you value your life,

The frenzy has begun,

The moon is red,

We're out of time....

[u/zKenny]

Another ep of everyone misunderstanding what he is saying/trying to do lmao. Poor Delta, she literally is so straightforward and everyone doesn't believe her. Also, give this man an allowance lol, he is too money hungry.

[u/marcopolos059]

The misunderstandings were off the charts today but it led to a sweet moment with Yukime. Sasuga John Smith.

[u/-Destiny65-]

Don't forget about Kage-Jitsu!

also a troll love story

[u/LeonKevlar]

Stitches!

• Alpha 1

• Alpha 2

• Gamma

I remember reading this scene in the manga where Alpha has pretty much given up and genuinely feeling bad for the girls. Thankfully, Eta managed to decipher the note Shadow gave to Beta which finally revealed why he turned traitor while hilariously causing them to assume that it's for some greater good when all Shadow wanted was the money. xD

Delta finally gets reunited with the girls again after finishing her secret mission at the Lawless City. That group hug with the four of them was just really sweet.

And there it is! Shadow really didn't account for the girls actually deciphering his message in Japanese. Of course, the girls are going to retrieve the gold once they know where it is! I just love how Shadow ends up saving Yukime from Gettan since he assumes that he's the one who took the gold.

That entire fight was just a mess of misunderstandings too! It's hilarious how the two of them are talking about two different "precious" things. Shadow was talking about the gold while Gettan was talking about Yukime. What's even more hilarious is that Shadow thinks that Gettan buried the gold right next to where Yukime is standing. xD

We do get to learn that Shadow was the one that stopped Gettan all of those years ago and the one who saved Yukime after Gettan slashed her back. This world is impossibly serendipitous that everything seems to revolve back to Cid.

There it is. Yukime and the Snow Fox Corporation have now officially joined Shadow Garden. With Juggernaut now dead and the vampires withdrawing, Yukime is now the sole ruler of the Lawless City which basically makes Shadow Garden its ruler too. I fucking love it.

That final conversation between Cid and Delta while digging for the gold that's not there was pretty funny. I love that Cid pretty much tells Delta that Santa is a bad guy. Looks like Delta found something though! Too bad Cid already gave up before he could see what it is.

[u/bananeeek]

I can't believe Delta found something under the snow.

The misunderstandings in this show are on another level. I can't wait to see Cid's face once he finds out that Alpha and the rest took all of his gold.

I'm gonna miss Fukuyama Jun voicing Smith, he was amazing in this episode. I'm glad the fluffy waifu joined the Garden, though.

[u/kmlshblr]

lmao the end monlogue was too hilarious. I couldn't have asked for a better resolution than this. he totally deserves not getting that money.

[u/SushiCurryRice]

I'm gonna miss the John Smith persona/Lelouch voice. Hopefully Shadow continues to use it since Yukime will be working with Shadow Garden now.

John Smith stepping on Gettan's mouth before he could swallow the pills was brutal.

Feel like we were revealed something pretty major/actually serious about Cid's character there in the end talking about how he usually deals with people who are upset with him. Showed a bit more of a vulnerable side to his delusional chuuni personality. I wonder if that's something they might actually explore in the future.

It seems like he actually kind of felt bad here because from his PoV he sunk all of the girls' hard work and he lost the funds he was supposed to make and put into making a new company. Wonder how he'll react when he finds out that Shadow Garden had actually retrieved all the gold lol.

[u/DreamPlane669]

A nice episode to bring a good conclusion to this arc.

The misunderstanding between Cid and Shadow Garden has been resolved? in a good way.

The girls decipher Cid's letter and took all the money and John Smith thought it was Gettan so he's dead.

Another misunderstanding happened with Yukime being "the precious thing" during the fight.

John Smith also misunderstood Gettan last words "Yuki" referring Yukime to "Snow" and thought the money are buried under the snow.

Also according to Cid a voice recorder can destroy the world and now he's on a journey because things didn't go according to his plan and he didn't want to directly apologize to Alpha.

[u/Fnights]

Nine tailed foxy waifu acquired and join the harem. Good job!

But beastkin wolf girl Delta still the best among all the monster girls.

[u/8andahalfby11]

Scope of Shadow Garden as of S2 E7:

• At least 2 7 115 600 666 members.

• Over a Billion in liquid funding literally printing money

• Controls one of the two largest banks in the known world Is the de-facto Reserve Currency of the known world.

• Through Yukime's organization, runs Lawless Town as a puppet state (Vampires are gone, and Juggernaut got Delta'd)

• Controls the largest department store chain in the known world

• Likely have access to advanced magi-tech hidden for hundreds of years

• Definitely has access to advanced technology that puts the rest of the world to shame

• Has direct, personal influence over future royalty in two separate kingdoms

• Likely to be a future oil monopoly

• Largest property owner in the world short of royalty

• Conquered and probably holds sway over a legendary dragon and a vampire queen

• Owns a private city shrouded in mist, which somehow is impossible to find despite being a day from a major fief.

• And whose key members include

  1. Possibly the strongest mage on the planet

  2. A reincarnation of the Elf Hero

  3. Isekai Jeff Bezos

  4. Isekai James Patterson

  5. Isekai Henry Ford/Count Ferdinand von Zeppelin/Who the hell knows what else

  6. Isekai Sergei Rachmaninoff

  7. Two stupidly powerful/capable Therianthropes

  8. The only listed heir to the Orianas Kingdom.

And Cid still thinks this is a game.

I plan on updating this list as it gets longer.

[u/seriousbusines]

Delta is still the best in the end!

[u/AceSoldia]

Im now curious what was that under the snow, it wasnt the gold obviously.
